Re: Daily, Nightly and Ever So Rightly II *Chat Thread*
story of my few moments with some random dude I have named 'Arab-Arnold-Horshack-from-the-Hedges guy'.
it's a little long, so here's the tl;dr version: Arnold Horshack popped out of the bushes in Arab form and tried to sell me magazines yesterday.
and here's the whole story:
Yesterday I was making a second trip to the grocery when this young man literally popped out of the hedges in front of a gorgeous home in one of the wealthier neighbourhoods. I thought maybe he was a hired hand (people like to keep their lawns and hedges tip-top around here) until I noticed he was wearing an oversized formal jacket. That was strike one, right there. The kid wasn't even dressed for the occasion. I walked past him and decided to mind my own business as usual when he called out to me.
"Excuse me? Can we talk? Hi, I'm [some Arab name I can't remember because I'm a stupid-ass American]."
He shook my hand.
"And who am I having the pleasure of speaking with?"
"... Rissa..."
And then he began to tell me that he's working with an organization that offers work opportunity to the lesser fortunate (lolwut kid, what kind of dream world are you living in?) and that he earns "points" for his betterment and career enhancement for every sale he makes. This kid is short, skinny, and looks like Arnold Horshack (Ron Pallillo's character in 'Welcome Back, Kotter', for those of you who don't get the reference). He even talks like the guy, poor bastard.
I especially died when he put his hands on the lapels of his huge jacket and said, "I'm even looking good, right, right?"
LOL ARNOLD YOU SO FUNNAH
He's even got the wonky teeth, for crying out loud. And he's having this weird goober going on in his mouth when he's talking because he's talking too quickly for his tongue to keep up with him. He asked me a bunch of questions, like, who I lived with and whatnot, and I'm just like "oh my god, get lost, shit!"
When he started hassling me for a sale I said I only had my bank cards on me.
"Bank card? No problem...!" yadda yadda blah, etc., etc.
"But I really can't right now, I'm sorry..."
"Oh, come on, would 30 dollars really hurt you right now?"
".. We live in a rough economy, you know I used to be a sales person too..."
"What'd you sell?"
Here's where I made up this elaborate lie that I used to work for a furniture company, and that I was from Canada, hahahaha.
"Are they hiring up in Canada?"
"...Where I'm from the economy is really bad."
Eventually he gave up and left me alone but jesus christ, the next time Arab Arnold Horshack pops out of the hedges I'm probably going to have a stroke.
